3 Introduction to the Travel Seminars Oakland University faculty members are essential to the internationalization of the campus and the curriculum. They challenge students to think beyond their immediate world and gather new experiences. One of the ways faculty can facilitate such learning is by developing courses that include a short-term Study Abroad component and cover material specific to the intended overseas destination. These programs include: A faculty-led program developed in conjunction with departmental goals. A Travel Seminar with a faculty program leader for 10 days during Spring Break. Participants leave as a group the Thursday evening prior to Spring Break and return before the start of classes. A Spring Intensive Travel Program with a faculty leader in May, immediately following the end of the winter semester. This program allows for a longer period of overseas travel. It also allows Oakland University to offer faculty opportunities to lead programs to more distant destinations, or programs that focus more intensely on a particular area. Faculty-led, short-term programs in any discipline may create valuable intercultural learning opportunities for students who may not yet be emotionally, academically, linguistically, or financially ready for more lengthy, integrated overseas experiences. These short-term programs also provide students who have family and/or work obligations the opportunity to study abroad. The short duration and special group dynamics of the Study Abroad courses, however, necessitate careful design and direction to maximize the students academic and intercultural experiences. This handbook has been designed by the Office of International Education to guide faculty members who are planning and directing Faculty-led Study Abroad programs. In assuming the responsibility for developing and leading an overseas study program, a faculty program leader can expect to assume the roles of administrator, teacher, financial advisor, travel agent, and counselor. To prevent these roles from becoming overwhelming, especially if it is the first time a faculty member is directing an overseas program, this handbook provides guidance and outlines policies associated with aspects of program development. The handbook answers program leaders most frequently asked questions about developing study abroad trips. It is not intended to be a compilation of everything that a faculty leader will need to know but rather the basics of overseas program development. If there are questions unanswered by the handbook, please contact the Director of International Education who is readily available to answer questions, provide suggestions and resources, and facilitate your planning and development of a Study Abroad course. 3

5 Financial Policies Cost of Travel and Course The costs listed for a particular travel experience are the per-participant charges for that particular trip with the added cost of the tuition for courses associated with the travel. Tuition charges are assessed when the student registers for the course. In Spring Break segments, only one course may be taken for credit due to the intense nature of such courses. Study Abroad Travel Grants Students who receive funding from Oakland University for the specific purpose of studying abroad are expected to follow through on their commitment to complete their overseas study experience. If a student withdraws from the program, it is the program leader s responsibility to immediately inform the Director of International Education who will monitor the funding and inform the Financial Aid and Student Accounts. A student who withdraws from a Study Abroad Program will forfeit all study abroad funding which will be deducted from the student s account. If the funding has already been posted to the specific program budget account, it will be subtracted from that account. The student will be responsible for paying any non-recoverable costs associated with his/her withdrawal from the program. Payments The course associated with each Study Abroad course must be set up in the University registration system with the program fee (less the deposit) attached. This will follow the same protocol as any other course that has a course fee associated with it. Once a student has registered for the travel trip, the program fee (less the deposit) will be automatically charged to the student s account. After financial aid has been applied to the student s account, the University will collect on this course fee in the same manner that it collects on all other fees. Consortium students and faculty/staff participants will follow the same procedure. Non-University Participants Guest students from non-consortium institutions who wish to receive credit for a Study Abroad program must register for the travel course at the standard Oakland University tuition fee rate for the course. Non-Oakland University or consortium college students, guest students, participating faculty, or staff will be required to pay a registration fee and register as visiting students. This is 5 required for liability purposes and is non- negotiable.
6 Participant Eligibility and Requirements Registration In order to register for an Oakland University Study Abroad Program, students must obtain the permission of the instructor/faculty leader. Students must enroll for the travel seminar course and, therefore, be receiving academic credit. Students must also meet the pre-requisite(s) for the course and be in good academic standing. Priority Admission and Eligibility First Priority: Second Priority: Third Priority: Current Oakland University and consortium institution students are given first priority when applying for a program. Guest students. Oakland University and consortium institutional faculty and staff who wish to apply for a program may do so after the program has recruited the established minimum number of students. Participation A minimum of ten students is required in order for a travel seminar to occur; the majority of the participants must be comprised of Oakland University, consortium, and/or guest students. The maximum number of total participants will vary depending on the faculty leader. Should the number of individuals interested in the program exceed the maximum number allowed, all displaced participants will be refunded the deposit. If the number of students falls below ten, the program will be cancelled for that year. Non-student participants are welcome to attend all seminar or spring intensive program class sessions and activities. Pre-departure orientation is mandatory for all participants. Approval of applications is left to the discretion of the individual program leaders. This applies to students, faculty, staff, and outside participants. 6
7 Roles and Responsibilities of the Travel Seminar Leader Teaching Responsibilities In order for a travel experience to be viable and sponsored by Oakland University, at least one academic course must be offered in conjunction with the travel. The travel experience is teacher driven. The faculty member proposing the travel experience would be required to submit a course proposal that includes a specific itinerary. The faculty member becomes the teacher of record for the course and the escort for the travel experience. The faculty member must be teaching in his/her recognized field of expertise. If a faculty member wishes to propose a program with a focus outside his/her recognized field of expertise (or if an administrator wishes to develop a program), he/she must partner with a faculty member capable of teaching in the proposed subject area. This faculty member will handle the academic component of the program. The teacher of record will be provided with transportation and room (plus board, if provided as part of the package). The teacher of record and any other faculty member teaching in conjunction with the travel experience will be paid by the University for the courses taught at the part-time/overload rate. If two faculty members (or one faculty member and one administrator) would like to work together to develop and lead a program, the costs for one leader are incorporated into the program fee plus a $25 stipend per student for the second leader. If sufficient participation exists, the second staff member would have his/her costs covered in full. Note: Both faculty members (or faculty-administrator combination) are required to travel with the group to the foreign destination and back to Oakland University. 7
8 Faculty Leaders Responsibilities Pre-Departure: Collaborate with the Office of International Education in all administrative arrangements for the program. Set selection criteria.

9 International Education Office Responsibilities As the campus coordinator of International Education and Oakland University, the International Education Director s responsibilities are as follows: Pre-Departure: Work closely with the faculty leader to plan and implement the program and assist in organizing campus and/or department recruitment activities. Meet with interested students to discuss the program and the application process. Distribute application materials and guide students through the process.

Receive program evaluations of programs from student participants. Organize re-entry orientation meeting. 9
10 Academic Policies Contact Hours All courses associated with the travel program are generally offered for four semester hours of credit. In order to maintain consistency within the program, faculty leaders must meet with their class a minimum of 12.5 (1¾ hours per week) hours on campus. It is estimated that while abroad, faculty leaders will take part in a minimum of 25 contact hours, resulting in a total of 37.5 contact hours for short programs. This is in accordance with hours required to earn three semester credits. Academic Withdrawal Students are not allowed to withdraw from the seminar or spring intensive program class after the travel portion has occurred because more than 80% of the course will have been completed by this time. This is in accordance with university-wide policies. Syllabi All travel faculty leaders must submit a hard copy of their syllabi/course outlines to the Director for International Education after approval by the Curriculum Committee. These materials will be kept on file in the Office of International Education for future review by faculty leaders. 10
